Coastal purity meets deliberate power in this cask strength single malt. Octomore 16.1 channels Bruichladdich’s mainland Concerto barley through a super heavily peated profile of 101.4 PPM, matured for five years in first fill bourbon barrels on Islay. It is conceived as the reference point of the .1 series, showing smoke with clarity, structure and a surprising sense of restraint.
Bottled at 59.3 percent ABV, non chill filtered and naturally coloured, it carries sea spray, orchard fruit and dried heather through a core of warm earth and sweet malt. Vanilla bean, toasted almond and soft spice add breadth before the whisky settles into a lingering, smoky and mineral finish, particularly apt alongside slow cooked pork or charred shellfish.
